  What in hell's name is the difference between

  Schwalbe G-One Speed Evolution - TLEasy - Folding Tire - 29x2.35 inch
  And

  Schwalbe G-One Speed Evolution - LiteSkin - Folding Tire - 29x2.35 inch

  Which is best for commuting

  Yeah but.. how much weight difference is there going to be between 2.35 and like.. 2.0 ? Or is this one of those rotational mass something something centripetal force something something laminar flow something something

  Contrast the probably impalpable weight difference with the very palpable instagram likes.

  You're probably right but Jan Heine something something supple something something rolling resistance something something internet bike warriors telling me to get the fattest rubber I can something something.

  Maybe I'll stick to 2.0s and non stupid mudguards.

  Anyone had a go with these? 75mm guards so supposedly wide enough for 65mm tyres, like 2.35"s? Possibly getting a bit wide for commuting frankly. Still weighing up my options for a tire/mudguard combo for winter commuting on a Brother Big Bro, I was thinking get the bigget possible but... Maybe that's too big

  Lovely thanks. I guess everyone is ordering them from Germany because I don't see a UK supplier.

  Why buy a steel fork when you can buy a second bike with a steel fork.

  I have a CDF with a carbon fork and tbh all I ever think about is getting a steel fork so that I can mount a trendy front rack and get on the r**davist so I wouldn't worry about carbon fork options.

  Thanks for the shout on these. Got mine today. They even threw in the zip ties to attach to my bagman which i asked for, which is nice of them.

  Seems to be made by Marpeneta so thanks to them.
